At Rotary Melbourne, we're committed to treating everyone with dignity and respect, allowing everyone's voice to be heard, and providing equitable opportunities for fellowship, service, and leadership.
Our members want and expect Rotary to be a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation. We're committed to creating supportive environments that foster open communication and shared learning. Rotary is an international organisation and although the Rotary experience may differ from country to country, the dynamics, histories, and structures that create inequality and bias can be found all over the world. Issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion are globally relevant.
We recognize that being a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation will enhance the experience that members have in Rotary, allow us to carry out more meaningful and effective service efforts, and create open, welcoming environments that appeal to people who want to connect with us.
Rotary International's Board approved a new DEI code of conduct that reflects our core values. It provides a supportive framework for how Rotary members can create and maintain an environment that is collaborative, positive, and healthy for everyone. It asks Rotary members to:
• Use respectful language
• Be supportive
• Foster a welcoming and inclusive environment
• Celebrate diversity
Help us to take action to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion at Rotary Melbourne.
